will not help joe biden saying he was friends with strom thurmond, who was a southern segregationist. they were colleagues on the judiciary committee, there were votes, judges, and deals made. this is how government works, or did work. i think you will run into trouble on the campaign trail where you have an inpatient group of activists who think this is selling out and giving into the other side. he got a lot of criticism. he campaigned in michigan, i think for a democrat, and was at some event and he singled out fred upton for praise, which was then used in a campaign ad by the upton campaign. democrats feel that he may have cost them a seat. >> thank you very much everyone. thank you.
